EBOMAF GROUP: New Year 2017 Message from Mahamadou Bonkoungou, President and CEO

Faithful partners,

Collaborating slates,

Employees

Parents, Friends, Knowledge and Various Relations,

Dear visitors to our site,

The time has come to look at the year that ends and to take stock of the work done, but also to take stock of the road that remains to be taken. I would like to thank each of you for your commitment to achieving the performance our Group has achieved over the past year. I would like to take the time to congratulate you on the efforts made throughout 2016. It must be acknowledged that we have once again achieved great successes, enabling EBOMAF to better serve States, their governments and their populations, as well as their technical and financial partners. Despite the many challenges, we have managed to position ourselves more in the construction industry in Africa.

Together, we had combined our expertise to achieve shared, individual and collective success. I would like to emphasize, today as in the past, your incredible involvement in the work. I can still count on you. 2016 was marked by a difficult economic situation in the West African subregion where our Group is mainly involved. Once again, your self-denial and dedication have made it possible to get us into the Top of the Key Actors of the Major Projects in Benin, Côte D'Ivoire, Guinea-Conakry, Togo and soon in other countries. Our website,www.ebomaf.comrecorded in 2016 alone, about 630,000 visitors from all the countries of the world. This is evidence of a clear interest throughout the world. This is both a great honour and an invitation to redouble our efforts to consolidate our achievements and achieve new gains.

Collaborating slates,

Employees

It is up to everyone to feel legitimate pride in this saga, which should be maintained over the years. Hopefully we will consider together the new year with a serenity marked by an unwavering will to meet personal and collective challenges. For my part, I will spare no effort to ensure the social and professional development that our company so much needs to achieve more success. For the positive results, to which we all aspire, are as important as the human relations that we have had ever since.

States, governments, people and families continue to trust us. May 2017 be the year of continuity. So this is the place for me to wish you a year 2017, marked by full development. I hope that you will enjoy the end-of-year celebrations in your families and return with the envy and energy that will make more of EBOMAF, a leading company in all the countries where it is located. Health, Peace, Happiness are the key words of my wishes for you. Let the next twelve (12) months be a new era of partnership, up to expectations, in the vision of making our business prosper. For all countries where we do work or do business, let the new year bring us graces in order to breathe into a lasting and immeasurable peace.

Mahamadou BONKOUNGOU,

PRESIDENT-DIRECTOR GENERAL OF THE EBOMAF GROUP
